Subject: GToolbox not thread safe?

 Hello,

 I have to face the usual problem of combining threads and modal windows.
 Since the code of GMain.Main.main is not thread-aware (it never calls
 Thread.delay), I suppose that the right thing to do is using the (odd) pair
 of functions GtkThread.main () / GMain.Main.quit (). I checked the code
 and they share the GMain.Main.loops; thus everything should work fine.

 Am I doing something reasonable? If the answer is yes, I deduce that the
 code in GToolbox is not thread-safe (since it uses GMain.Main.main ()).
 Otherwise I deduce that GMain.Main.main () for nested Gtk loops works fine.
 But I can't understand why (and a quick test showed me exactly the
 opposite).

 TIA for any help.

 						Regards,
						C.S.C.
